Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide

This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

Pixellany is right - reading an MS Word file using OpenOffice or ABIWord is the easy bit. Without knowing the format of the data in Word and the required format in the database, offering guidance is difficult. An example is essential.

All you need to do is install (if it is not yet installed) an Open Office Suite. Usually this is auto installed in most distros.

Open Office writer reads MSWord format. I have no problem with my word files from windows to openOffice. Try OpenOffice v.3, though the previous v.2.4 is still used largely for being stable.

If you wanted to convert some msword tables into spreadsheet Open Office has also a spreadsheet program equally good as that of ms excel.

mySQL understands your files don't worry.

The best way of solving Linux problems is this ---
First, backup your system and data files;
Second, try some possible solutions out of the box;
Third, google for similar issues, and if none is found, ask Linux Questions but be sure post also everything what you have done and your current system condition.
